Dragonfly Summer

Jo Carter never expected to go back to Clear Springs, Minnesota, but a note with an unclear meaning forces her to. It concerns the disappearance of her friend Sam, which happened twenty years earlier. Jo is a former journalist, and she starts asking questions. Her inquiry soon reveals that another friend from high school has died in a strange accident, and that nothing in the town's story is what it appears to be.

As Jo looks into the town's darkest corners, she has to rely on her own painful memories, which she cannot fully trust. The danger is not only in the past. The person responsible for these events may still be hunting for anyone who threatens to uncover the truth.

J. H. Moncrieff's novel explores how memory can betray us and how the bonds between women can both protect and complicate us. Readers who enjoy a story built on twists, rising tension and a hidden past will find it a fit.
